Hello!

Just was doing progress on the engine styling recently. I thought it would be neat to do some rebranding of the Alfa powerplant to give the impression of a Ferrari engine.

Clever bloke, good idea that, and nicely done. I'm sure you could sell a few of those too. I'm going to stick wth my Lancia branded plenum though.

They'd look good with that wrinkly paint.

Hi Paul.

Thanks for the positive feedback.
I am very satisfied with the result too.

And of course I could make some limited production of these also if there is interest.
Price would be about 120,- to 150,- GBP per pcs, not painted - plain aluminium finish.

I'd like it better if it said Lancia instead.

I originally thought this thread was about replacing an Alfa engine with a Ferrari engine. My kit did just the opposite, the first time the chassis was built, it had a Ferrari engine, went it got sold to someone in the USA, they had it converted to take an Alfa 12V V6, I modified that further to accept an Alfa 24V V6. I'll have to see if I can create Lancia cam covers for my engine.

Sando will know for certain but I was of the impression that 24V Kappa front COP cover would do the job for you. Think that's what he has on his engine. Need to source them in mainland Europe I expect - won't be many at all in the UK and fewer in the USA.

Local fiat dealer near me had some of the badges off the top of a thema 8.32 for sale on ebay, the one that says Lancia by Ferrari. Bought one to sit on top of my itb airbox. May make a press tool for an indent for it to sit in seen as its around 5mm thick. Probably paint it black then sand the top of the lettering then clearcoat.

I did something similar with my 12 valve, sourcing the cam covers and plenum in Germany, and then having them powder coated, with a little bit of help from Sando I'm working on transfering his "Stratos" graphics into CAD data to achieve a similar result to the above, who was the CAD company you used?

Further to Pims message below, thats what i did, using the Kappa cam covers
